The Qianfeng Earlier Divine-Sky School of Philosophical Daoism, will hold its second transmission of the authentic Daoist practises as preserved within the ‘Zhao Family Gate’ - collectively known as ‘Strengthening Essential Nature through Mind-Body Self-Cultivation’ (性命双修功夫 – Xing Ming Shuang Xiu Gong Fu) – an important event which will be officially held on the 28th, May, 2017. This will involve ‘inner’ disciples of this system gathering to instruct beginners in the Daoist practises of ‘Sweating Ox Self-Cultivation’ (汗牛功 – Han Niu Gong), and ‘Maoyou Divine-Sky Orbit’ (卯酉周天 – Mao You Zhou Xian) - the practice of small orbit circulation between 5am-7am (卯 - Mao) – and again at 5pm-7pm (卯 - You). This is the transmission of the ‘inner’ teachings to beginner (i.e. ‘external’) students – thus acting inaccordance with the Founder - Zhao Bichen’s instruction - to make Daoist teachings available to all without discrimination, so that health and longevity can be developed everywhere, and the Daoist methodology perpetuated as a consequence. Anyone can attend these Qianfeng transmission sessions which emphasis an all round approach to mind and body training, but obviously places are limited, and it is better if potential attendees contact me first, to arrange registration.

This event will last 3 days. On the first day (the 28th), the Chinese-American academic – Dr Zhang Qingming (张青松) will relate the history of the Qianfeng School in China, and its international impact throughout the world, whilst I (Zhao Ming Wang) – the generational inheritor of the Qianfeng School - will over-see all the Daoist instruction from basic to advanced techniques – with everyone practising together in the afternoons. On the 29th, there will be tours of the local (and beautiful) area, followed by more instruction and practice, whilst on the 30th will involve a more indepth exchange, and a more precise practice. There is a fee for the ‘explanation’ (i.e. ‘teaching’) of the Daoist teachings – but not for the teachings themselves. All individuals are personally responsible for paying the fee, but I do not believe in making any other (hidden) charges. Furthermore, the authentic Daoist teachings are ‘priceless’ and cannot be bought with any amount of money, if authentic teachers are not available. Besides, although in the modern world there is often an exchange of money involved in human interaction, I believe Daoism should always remain free of financial incentive as far as possible, so as to preserve its ‘virtuous’ nature.
